Love has no agenda …

Missing the mark is an opportunity to show both your humanness and your divinity.

You demonstrate your humanness by missing the mark. And you demonstrate your divinity by honestly acknowledging it, without feeling defined by it. … More

We know that our best effort to change the world starts within.

Peace can come only as we act on what we know. Imagine a world in which each of us did the necessary inside work.

Not only would we have peace, love would reign supreme in our hearts and in our world, as each of us grew into our very best self.… More

You can feel overwhelmed by work OR grateful for it.

You can feel afraid of uncertainty OR excited about it.

You can feel anxious about how long something takes OR feel present for it.

You can choose HaPpY … and it’s much easier to choose happy if you believe in you and what you’re made of! … More

The meticulous German researchers discovered that:

Men who kiss their wives every morning have fewer automobile accidents on their way to work than men who forego the morning kiss.

They miss less work because of sickness than the non-kissers.

The kissers earn from 20 to 30 percent more money.

And they live some five years longer than those who don’t kiss. … More

Intimacy flows deep and wide …

From a reader: “You said what makes two people compatible is how deeply and broadly they connect. Intuitively, it sounds right to me, but what exactly does it mean? How does it play out in a relationship?”

To connect deeply we have to get naked, not just physically (that’s the easy part), but mentally and emotionally. We can’t skate on the surface chatting about the weather and expect to attract a soul mate.

We have to risk talking about religion and politics, spirituality and values, dreams we still dream, lessons we can’t seem to learn, and fears we still run from. We have to share from a deep place inside of us if we want to connect deeply. As simple as that sounds, it can be difficult just to face some of what’s in there, let alone pull it out and share it with somebody we’re trying to impress.

The irony is that once you’ve looked at what’s in there, you start to realize how amazing you are! That doesn’t mean everybody will connect with you. But whether they connect or not, if you’re trying to determine compatibility, rather than prove it, your mission is accomplished!… More

The uglier the problem, the more attractive the solution is. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward.

Sometimes, in the face of the challenge, we forget … or we get tired, or hungry, or something. To remember who we are and what we’re capable of, we must be present. We must pay attention to our needs. We must love and nurture our body, mind, and spirit.

And we must let knowledge guide our love. That means tuning into who you are; and it means recognizing that you are NOT your ego. You are not your fear.

Let’s remember that love has a solution for every problem. Let’s assume that the solution is there and that we can access it. Let’s trust that truth.

An example, well, maybe two examples: Some of you know that I took a break from my work to assist Sam with saving and rebuilding his clinic. What a gift! And, yes, the solution was there!

For the last few years, I’ve been able to re-focus on my work–writing, consulting, and speaking. But during the time I was away, not only did I lose momentum, the industry changed dramatically. And about the time, I thought I was making some headway, a pandemic struck.… More
